Mr. Billionaire's Unwanted Bride
*Based on a true story where love has its dark sides but burns hotter than ever* Abandoned by her mother and orphaned at a young age, Natalie held a deep-seated mistrust for the world especially when it came to men. Her strategy for survival was simple: work hard enough to scrape by each month and rely solely on yourself! Fate had other plans in store for her. Enter Alonso Valois, a charismatic billionaire who swept into her life and showed her just how right a man can be. Despite Natalie's attempts to keep him at arm's length, Alonso who had no intention of letting her slip away shocked her by proposing just two weeks after their first encounter! Was this the "happily ever after" Natalie had dreamt of? Far from it. Walking into the Valois mansion with Alonso's dad calling all the shots felt like walking into a lion's den for Natalie. Little did she know that while she was trying her best to fit in, her in-laws were scrambling to conceal the truth about what happened to the women in the Valois family. As the past comes haunting Alonso and demanding its price, will the unwanted bride be the one who saves the Valois ship from sinking? Or will she be the first one to jump off that sinking ship? *** Updates every Monday! +1 bonus chapter for 300 Power Stones +1 bonus chapter for 50 Golden Tickets +5 bonus chapters whenever the book receives a Magic Castle *Credit of the art goes to the owner*
Eavesdropping on Her Conversation
Alonso was just finishing braiding Natalie's hair. They were getting ready to visit his father's room as they had agreed the night before, but he was interrupted by a phone call.
He frowned, "That's Terrissa. I have to take it." He kissed Natalie's temple, "Finish up, I'll come for you in five minutes."
"…Okay," she replied dejectedly.
When Alonso opened the door, he found Jack with his arm raised as if he was about to knock.
"Good morning, Jack."
"Hey, Alonso. Can I come in?"
"Sure," Alonso held Jack's shoulder then let it go before moving out of sight.
Jack walked inside with a peculiar smile on his face and sat on Natalie's bed then patted the space next to him. She walked towards her bed and sat where he gestured.
"I heard all about last night from Javier, and I swear, it's the first time I wished I was here to see it all."
The level of genuine happiness on his face was almost disturbing.
